Migration on Green Party conference agenda

The issue of migration will be put under the spotlight today at a conference hosted by the Green Party.

Migration in an extended EU will focus on the subject of families being split up by deportation.

Jocelyne Le Boulicaut, of the French Greens’ Feminist Commission; Harry Vassallo, of the Green Party of Malta; and Richard Lawson, founder of the campaign for an Index of Human Rights in the UN and International Coordinator for the Green Party of England and Wales, will be among the guest speakers.

The conference, in Dublin's Conrad Hotel, has been organised ahead of the UN International Day for Migrants, on December 18, around which Green Parties across Europe will organise events and discussions.
